I tracked down the following information.  I comes from page 150 of the
"NetWare Technical Journal", vol. 1, no. 1, January 1989:

Peer-to-Peer Protocols for DOS.  "IPX, SPX and NetBIOS libraries and
	documentation that allow developer's distribute Novell
	peer-to-peer communication protocols and LAN drivers
	with their applications.  Price: US$10,000"

NetWare Core Protocol (NCP). "Documentation of NetWare's client-server
	protocol.  Contains specifications for the data portion of
	the IPX request/reply packets sent between workstations
	and file servers.  Price: US$10,000"

"Available from Developer Relations (801) 379-7508, FAX (801) 377-9353, or
by calling Product Information (800) LAN-KIND."

This same issue, on page 15, contains an article discussing Novell's
view of the subjects of "prorietary" and "openness".
